Accumold’s history in the micro optics marketplace spans decades, and the company has proudly partnered with leading SMEs and major international corporations to craft ground-breaking products that push the boundaries of innovation. In the photonics sector where supreme precision is not just desired but required, Accumold has cemented its role as the micro molding authority for OEMs seeking to create components that are not only complex and diminutive but also precise, timely, and cost-effective.

Paul Runyan, VP Sales & Marketing at Accumold, says. “The critical importance is to integrate seasoned micro-optic suppliers like Accumold into the design phase as early as possible. It’s our partnership approach, versus a mere vendor relationship, that enables the fusion of specialized micro manufacturing and micro-optic expertise into your projects for solutions that are both efficient and economical. We are able to produce micro-optic marvels such as 250-micron fiber optic lenses, parallel arrays, demux devices, and diffractive lenses, enhanced by our experience in molding attenuated resins and applying coatings like IR, AR, and reflective layers onto plastic substrates. The complex demands of crafting micro-sized optical couplers, embedding lenses into housings, replicating lens profiles to a quarter wave accuracy, and achieving lens surface finishes within 50 angstroms are why we have dedicated tooling specialists to ensure your light transmission projects are flawlessly executed.”

On booth 1566 at Photonics West, Accumold will be showcasing its expertise as the world’s leading high-tech manufacturer of precision micro molded plastic components with part geometries from 5cm to less than 1mm in size. The company’s 30-plus years at the forefront of micro molding innovation ensures that it leads with expertise in insert molding, clean room molding, and 2-shot molding across materials like PEEK, Ultem, LCP, and a wide range of engineered thermoplastics.

Xueyuan LU, CEO of WeNext said: “China’s 10-trillion-yuan manufacturing sector relies on four core processes: 3D printing, CNC machining, injection molding, and metal sheeting. These are widely used to produce a range of essential products including consumer electronics, medical equipment, and unique models for the automotive industry. However, a lack of proper standardization has led to low production efficiency for SMBs, representing the bulk of the market. Digitalization in manufacturing can bring more flexibility throughout the entire process and fundamentally improve efficiency, particularly for non-standard parts. Unlike high-volume and commoditized manufacturing, we’re committed to serving the non-standard and diverse needs of our clients as we grow further and to delivering ever better products and services.”

Runyan concludes, “The exacting tolerances inherent in micro-optic applications, necessitate that OEMs collaborate with seasoned experts like Accumold from the outset to achieve precise, timely, and cost-effective manufacturing outcomes. We invite all Photonics West attendees to join us at booth 1566, where we’re excited to showcase our successes in micro molding and discuss how our expertise can elevate your micro-optics projects. Engage with our expert team and let’s explore how our partnership can illuminate the path to your product’s success.”

Mingpo CAI, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Cathay Capital: “As the largest and most active manufacturing hub in the world, it’s vital for China’s industrial sectors to embrace R&D and innovate as technology continues to advance. WeNext is taking on this challenge by upending traditional methods with its ‘Digital+Manufacturing’ approach and infrastructure that can activate future innovation more efficiently. From the very start of their entrepreneurial journey, Xueyuan and his team have been transforming the industry with a wide variety of unique services offring flexibility, shorter lead time and cost reduction to different kind of customers. At Cathay, and our industrial tech team, we remain confident in WeNext’s potential and are proud to see our global ecosystem foster its growth – which is sure to benefit businesses in China and around the world.”
